In today’s bifurcated US media system, the press outlets more friendly to Democrats and Republicans, respectively, tend to focus on the scandals of the opposite party, meaning one or more parts of the public are constantly missing out on major news.

Take some of the revelations that have come out of the John Durham special counsel investigation, created by former attorney general William Barr in the Donald Trump administration’s waning days to probe the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation that obsessed the establishment for years. Covered extensively in the right-wing media sphere, comparatively fewer left-leaning news consumers are probably even aware of their existence — which means they’re also unaware of new information about Hillary Clinton’s direct role in fomenting the god-awful US-Russia relations that have now brought us alarmingly close to nuclear peril.

The revelations that have made the most recent, sensational headlines have to do with the Trump-Alfa Bank story, which you might remember as one of the key, early scandals establishing the idea of a Trump-Russia connection in the public imagination during the 2016 election, and helping lay the groundwork for what we know as “Russiagate.”
